working with my son (aged 9) to build his first bike

got this off ebay uk today - bit of a mess, no brakes, but original GT parts

stripped down to clean, polish etc

waiting on a few parts - new chain; skyways - the wheels i always wanted as a kid in the 80's but could never afford )-;

anyone know what the original brakes on this were ?

cheers to daygogt96 for the advice on the brakes and to mongoosedrummer for the CAP rust removal method on the chainring - sweet

nearly there now, just need to work out these newfandgled gyro things........  (-;
